    Excellent food and drink. Small but very well curated list of wines by the glass. Great cocktails. Food is consistently prepared with high-quality ingredients and cooked with expertise and care. Atmosphere is lively/energetic but still quiet enough that two middle-age people can easily hear one another talk without shouting. :-) A great evening out.

    Always a delight to dine there. A few new offerings were terrific. Short Rib, Pork Chop and Bass were all wonderful.

    Salad was good, but too much dressing, for me and in need of pepper. Mushroom pizza was good, but bland. I asked for chili pepper flakes which helped somewhat. The servers were helpful and responsive. .

    Music was a bit loud at times - maybe a little less energy would be better

    Horrible service. Had a reservation for 4pm for 4 people and was seated at an overly large table for 8 people which was not conducive to conversation. Asked to switch but told our dining time would be restricted at a different table. Waitress was incredibly rude. Made mistakes with our order with no apologies. Ignored us. So disappointed because I had many previously great experiences at this restaurant.
